Books & Magazines I Dig

Nadia Bolz-Weber: Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television. This is my book. It will change your life. Ok, not really.

 

 

Kester Brewin: Signs of Emergence
This book is tremendous. Drawing on his background as a math teacher, Brewin explores why the church is where it is and why it is to change…using complexity theory. This is a must read.

 

 

Peter Rollins: How (Not) to Speak of God
Pete is an emerging church pastor of the Ikon community in Belfast, Ireland. I can’t recommend this book enough.

 

 

 

Geez Magazine
the original editor of Ad Busters: Geez Magazine
*holy mischief in an age of fast faith* I cannot recommend this enough. Ad free, gorgeous, pleasingly dangerous.

 

Eddie Gibbs: Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures
Gibbs and Bolger spent 5 years compiling this book which relies heavily on interviews with emerging church leaders in the US and the UK. They seem to favor independant churches over denominational ones…so very little is said about us “loyal radicals”
